《艺文类聚》征引南梁大细言诗蠡测

Research on Poems Describing Big or Small Things in the Liang Dynasty Cited by YiWenLeiJu

《艺文类聚》征引有萧统、殷钧、王规、王锡、张缵、沈约等人所撰大细言诗各二首,其中后十首题加“应令”,显系应皇太子萧统之命而作。这些诗歌应作于梁天监十一年,时萧统尚未成年,沈约则于翌年忧惧而终。从文学内涵看,上述大细言诗虽然常被视为游戏之作,然而在隶事用典方面远接诸子寓言,在具体事象和文学隐喻方面直接吸收宋玉大小言赋之写作经验,抑又极想象与夸张之能事,某些作品甚至呈现出佛教文化内涵。从学术价值看,《艺文类聚》征引南梁大细言诗,不仅关涉萧统和沈约的诗歌系年问题,而且隐含着昭明太子在少年时代主持的首次文学活动,并从一个侧面展示了萧统文学集团萌兴和发展的可能性,由此呈现出某种特殊的文学意义。

Yi Wen Lei Ju had cited eight poems two per person,which described Big or Small Thing,and written by Xiao Tong,Yin Jun,Wang Gui,Wang Xi,Zhang Zuan and Shen Yue.The last ten poems had been titled“for command”,obviously written in response to the order of crown prince Xiao Tong.It should have been written in the eleventh year of Tianjian in the Liang dynasty,when Xiao Tong had not grown up yet,and then Shen Yue died of fear in the following year.From the perspective of literary connotation,although these poems were often regarded as works of game,it were originated from fables of the ancient scholars in the use of allusions,and directly absorbed the writing experience of Song Yu's related Fu in terms of specific things and literary metaphor,it were also very imaginative and exaggerated,some works even showed the connotation of Buddhist culture.From the perspective of literary value,these poems not only had concerned the poetry dating of Xiao Tong and Shen Yue,but also implied the first literary activity presided over by prince in his youth,and showed the possibility of the sprouting and development of Xiao Tong literary group from one side,and presented a special literary significance.
